Regarding Zhang Xiu's question, Cao Run hesitated and said seriously:
"I heard that Ye Junsheng was arrested and thrown into the prison of the Police Department..."
Zhang Xiu nodded and said with emotion:
"This Ye Junsheng is really greedy. He even stole thousands of taels of silver. He is not afraid of supporting him to death. Now it is a good thing that the commander-in-chief personally ordered that Ye Junsheng be executed in public at Caishikou tomorrow, and those shops will also follow him. By eating melon together, we not only made up for all the taxes and fees we should pay, but also paid late fees and fines. It can be said that we have suffered heavy losses, including losing my wife and losing the army!"
"I also heard that Ye Junsheng's father is quite capable. He persuaded several elders of the Ye family to plead for mercy and wanted Ye Mingsheng to spare Ye Jun's life, but Marshal Ye refused to give him any face. If this happened before, this would be unimaginable!
"In the past, the Zhao family's gang, not to mention tax evasion, even committed murder, arson, and raped women, did not bother us at all. Who dared to say anything like the Chief Secretary and the Inspector? Compared with Zhao Fuqu, ours Marshal Ye is really selfless and does not recognize his relatives!"
Hearing the news, Li Junshan, who originally talked a lot, was very surprised and didn't say anything. He just raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass directly into his stomach.
Seeing him like this, Cao Run comforted him and said:
"Brother Li, it's not that your family pays more taxes. There is no need for you to feel unbalanced. Think about how much Marshal Ye has given you a salary increase. If Marshal Ye hadn't taken away the old turtle above your head and cleaned it, you In order to prevent the old turtle from causing trouble to you, how much money do you give him every year..."
"well!"
Li Junshan sighed and said:
"Dashuai Ye's wisdom and prowess are rare for hundreds of years. I, Li Junshan, will follow him to the death, but I really don't understand why Marshal Ye is so kind to those poor people. Not only did he allocate fields to those poor people, but he also gave them to them this year. The land tax was reduced by 30%, but the tax on our three hundred acres of land was not reduced at all! Two hundred acres of land were also redeemed!"
"Not only that, the city gate tax for small traders and hawkers is gone now, but our store has to pay 30% of the value-added tax. Together with the tax for those small traders and hawkers, we have to pay all of it. I really don't think so. I don’t know why Marshal Ye is so nice to these poor guys? Why is he so harsh to us gentry?”
Looking at Li Junshan who was very irritable, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but admonished:
"Brother Li, although your family has paid much more taxes than before, you have to think about the benefits. In the past, if Ji Yu didn't say that there were bandits and bandits all over the place, they would come out every once in a while. As far as I know, you guys Our caravan has been robbed several times, and we didn’t lose at least a thousand taels of silver that time?”
"But what about now? Almost all the bandit caravans in the entire land of Hebei and Yu have been wiped out by the Fengwu Army. Even those who are lucky enough to survive are hiding in the deep mountains and old forests in fear all day long, not daring to come out to make trouble! Your businessmen The team hasn’t been robbed in more than a year, right?”
"How many people have openly asked for bribes from your business before? Most of the dividends from your business have been used to burn incense and give gifts. Besides, how many people dare to ask for money from your business now?"
"If you take all these things into account, Brother Li, does your family earn more or less money?"
Hearing what Zhang Xiu said, Li Junshan was silent for a while, and then, wanting to understand everything, he raised his glass and said sincerely to Zhang Xiu:
"Brother Zhang, I'd like to toast you! Your words woke up the dreamer and made me suddenly realize. Marshal Ye has brought us such a peaceful and prosperous age. It is natural to charge more taxes. I still have this It’s really undeserved to complain so much..."

Governor's Palace
An Miao leaned on the chair, holding her head tiredly, and asked Qiqige beside her:
"How is the situation over at Tian Yu?"
Facing An Miaoyi's inquiry, Qiqige hesitated for a moment, carefully considered her words and said:
"Doctor Ma from the medical school said that Master Tian Yu's physical condition has basically stabilized. However, Master Tian Yu's bones are relatively weak, so he still needs to rest for a period of time. He must take medicine on time every day and not have too many mood swings!"
Hearing what Qi Qige said, the sadness on An Miaoyi's face dissipated a little and she slowly said:
"The physical condition is stable, but what about Tian Yu's mental illness? Is this what Dr. Ma said?"
Seeing that An Miaoyi noticed this, Qiqige did not dare to hide it and said carefully:
"Doctor Ma said that heart ailments are beyond the reach of medicine and stone, and he can't help. He can only rely on Master Tian Yu for this matter. If Master Tian Yu can figure it out, the disease will be cured quickly. If he can't figure it out, he will be cured quickly. That might take a little more time!”
Hearing this answer, An Miaoyi sighed in her heart. She knew it would be like this!
Xiao Ruolan, that bitch, can't do anything about her husband, but he can't help but worry about his brother's harm. Tian Yu has been sick since he was a child, and his family also loves him very much, for fear of being hurt. This also leads to the fact that under the protection of his family, Yasuda Yu's character is also very... Simple, this time he was really moved by Xiao Ruolan, but he never expected that he would end up with bruises all over his body...
When things got to this point, An Miaoyi had no good solution. She could only hope that Yasuda Yu could get over her emotional pain as soon as possible and not let her sister continue to worry!
After feeling sad for a while, An Miaoyi explained to Qiqige:
"You go back and prepare a gift for Dr. Ma and the others. Thanks to their presence this time, thank Dr. Ma for me when you go!"
"Madam, I understand, I will go tomorrow!" Qiqige nodded and responded:
After speaking, Qiqige hesitated for two seconds, but seeing An Miaoyi's deeply troubled look, she still mustered up the courage to suggest to An Miaoyi:
"Madam, after Pei Zhixiu gives birth to the child, let her show it to Master Tian Yu?"
As soon as these words came out, An Miaoyi's calm mind made her feel a little unbelievable about Qiqige's thoughts. After looking at Qiqige, she saw that she was serious and did not mean to say something wrong. An Miaoyi He shook his head decisively and said:
"Although Pei Zhixiu has great medical skills, she is better at gynecology. With Tian Yu's condition, Dr. Ma is better at it! Besides, her identity is sensitive, so it is not appropriate for her to treat Tian Yu!"
Although the proposal was rejected by An Miaoyi, Qiqige did not give up and continued:
"Madam, I heard that Pei Zhixiu is very good at treating heart diseases. Do you remember that girl Ye Wan'er?"
"She was originally engaged, but three days before the wedding day, she discovered that her husband-in-law had eloped with Li Yuanyuan, a red card from Guixiyuan in the city. That girl Ye Waner also had a very strong temper and hanged herself that night. Fortunately, she Mom discovered it early, otherwise no one would have saved her...
"Although this person was rescued, Ye Wan'er didn't eat or drink, which made her family very anxious. The old lady loved her niece very much, and everyone knew that Pei Zhixiu was good at treating women, so she asked Pei Zhixiu to treat women. Let’s see what kind of disease it is! I don’t know what Pei Zhixiu told her to explain to this girl Ye Wan’er that she will remarry next month!”
Hearing what Qiqige said, An Miaoyi gradually remembered this matter. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Ye Wan'er's matter and An Tianyu's matter were very similar. They were both ruthlessly abandoned by their partners. Pei Zhixiu could explain it. Ye Wan'er, maybe she could really understand Yasuda Yu, and her expression gradually changed.
But when she thought that Pei Zhixiu was Ye Mingsheng's favorite concubine and asked her to do ideological work for her brother, An Miaoyi felt that the matter was somewhat embarrassing.
If it was just embarrassment, it wouldn't matter. For the sake of her own brother, An Miaoyi could lower her face and ask Bae Ji-soo for help. After all, this was not the first time she asked Bae Ji-soo for help. However, the most important thing about this was that Ye Mingsheng's consent must be obtained. After all, everyone knows that Pei Zhixiu is Ye Mingsheng's prisoner.
An Miaoyi felt that she could get it done if she asked Ye Mingsheng to be coquettish or beg for other things, but she had no idea about Pei Zhixiu's matter!
After hesitating for a moment, An Miaoyi shook her head and said:
"Bae Ji-soo is still pregnant with the child. Let's discuss this matter later when we have the opportunity..."
After saying this, An Miaoyi changed her tone and continued to ask:
"How are Shen Yutong, mother and son doing now?"
"Mama Wu took good care of them!" Qiqige said without thinking:
An Miaoyi nodded slightly when she heard this. Although Shen Yutong was the one who gave birth to the child this time, An Miaoyi was responsible for finding the doctor and hiring a midwife in the early stage, and arranging for the maid and mother-in-law to take care of their mother and child in the later stage. Ye Mingsheng, who was busy with business affairs, only showed his face to express his concern, and then became a hands-off shopkeeper.
The reason why An Miaoyi is so concerned about Shen Yutong's affairs is naturally not because she has a good relationship with Shen Yutong, or that Shen Yutong is happy to have given birth to Ye Mingsheng's child. She is not so overflowing with love, and her purpose of doing this is also For herself.
The first point is to break the rumors!
Ye Jingren, who was born to An Miaoyi before Shen Yutong gave birth to his son, was Ye Mingsheng's only son. Everyone gathered around Ye Jingren. An Miaoyi was also a mother, and her position as a eldest wife was unshakable at all!
After Shen Yutong gave birth to a son, this matter changed. Although Ye Jingren is the eldest son, he still has unique advantages, but he is not the only one. Don't you see that the eldest sons in history are not 100% able to Taking over from her father, coupled with the recent incident involving Xiao Ruolan, An Miaoyi received some criticism...
Therefore, there were some rumors, both overt and covert, portraying her An Miaoyi as a jealous woman who could not accept Ye Mingsheng having children with other women. They said that Shen Yutong's childbirth caused her An Miaoyi's mentality to become unbalanced, which would be detrimental to Shen Yutong and the child.
The internal guards quickly found the source of this rumor and put an end to the maid who had speculated that this news was created. However, for some reason, this news spread. An Miaoyi was also speechless about this. Let's not talk about it for now. Ye Jingren is the eldest son, and the child Shen Yutong is pregnant with is a concubine. Just saying that Shen Yutong is not favored by Ye Mingsheng at all, and Shen Yutong's son basically has no chance to compete for the legitimate title.
If you say that Murong Qingwu gave birth to a son, she would probably be in a bad mood. After all, although Murong Qingwu's child was also a commoner, he had the prominent Murong family and the huge Guanzhong Group behind him, which were enough to deal with Ye Jingren. challenge its status.
But if it’s just Shen Yutong, then this is purely funny!
She's just an actor, An Miaoyi doesn't take it to heart at all!
Although she was speechless, the rumors had spread after all, and everyone was looking at her. Therefore, for the sake of her own image and the need to break the rumors, An Miaoyi also showed that she was very concerned about this matter and arranged everything for the best. She must Let Shen Yutong and her son be safe.
In addition to the need to break the rumors, An Miaoyi also has another reason for being so dedicated...
Because of the relationship between An Miaoyi and the Cui family, from the day An Miaoyi came in, Mrs. Ye Cui had a high look at An Miaoyi. Coupled with An Miaoyi's deliberate flattery, Mrs. Ye Cui was coaxed. She was very happy, and with the appearance of Ye Jingren later, the relationship between the two of them was even better. Ye Cui also regarded An Miaoyi as her own daughter.
However, with the appearance of Murong Qingwu and Murong Qingwu's actions to suit her, An Miaoyi's position in Ye Cui's heart was challenged!
Originally, this was nothing. After all, with the Cui family's relationship, An Miaoyi was still unshakable. However, after the Xiao Ruolan incident this time, it was learned that An Miaoyi's younger siblings were actually killers of the Supervision Department, and had been killed by An Miaoyi many times. After Miao Yi was brought into the Ye Mansion with the intention of harming Ye Mingsheng, Mrs. Ye Cui became very angry. She reprimanded An Miao Yi for the first time and ordered An Miao Yi not to bring her mother-in-law into the mansion in the future.
Although Mrs. Ye Cui's reprimands and warnings were in private and saved her some face, they also made An Miaoyi feel dangerous!
At the same time, Murong Qingwu also saw an opportunity. During this period, he had been accompanying Ye Cui to lecture on Buddhism. He also put on a virtuous and virtuous appearance and said that An Miaoyi had also been deceived and advised Ye Cui not to She was angry with An Miaoyi, and her green tea look made An Miaoyi disgusted.
Although she was very aggrieved, An Miaoyi could only break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach, thinking of using the incident of Shen Yutong's childbirth to win back a favor in Ye Cui's heart and prevent that bitch Murong Qingwu from getting too pregnant. Very satisfied···························
